Time for a trim!?

Hello Friends, 

I finally decided it was time for a trim on, well as you can see below it's more of a cut. I went to my local Mastercuts because I was not feeling spending almost 30 dollars to go Regis and get maybe a 1 inch cut off. Which was fine with me considering it's probably been about 9-10 months since my hair even saw the glimmer of a pair of clippers. 

I washed my hair the same day I got it cut so this posting is a little late getting up, you can see that post here, and here are my end results. The lady that cut my hair was surprised at how bad my ends were and I agreed with her. I was holding on to length and my hair was not healthy at all, hopefully with this fresh start will allow my nape to catch up with the rest of my hair cause it's slowly retaining length. And also I feel better and my hair feels better so the couple inches I lost are worth not having to look at that ugly W shape my hair was doing. 

Also the gap will slowly disappear, hopefully, as my nape does it's thang ;) 

I'm happy with the cut and feel like my ends will finally stop breaking and it'll be a nice transition from having crunchy dry ends pop back up 2 days after wash day.

Getting Healthy Ends!?

Hello Friends, 

I've been contemplating cutting my hair again to get rid of the raggedy ends that have plagued me for a while now. As much as I want to say that I love my ends, I'm still not sure if they are healthy or if it's the lack of nap growth that I have. 

My entire nap is natural, which is weird considering I get that relaxed just the same as the rest of my hair, it is possible that the hair is disappearing because I wasn't wrapping, (my version of wrapping) my hair up and the way I sleep made it fall out. There would be nights that I'd just take out my buns and sleep so now that I think of it, that's probably why because I was sleeping directly on the weakest part of my head. (dumb) I suppose I'll check back each month, with a protect the nap checkup to see my progress. Hopefully it goes well because I've been making sure to baby and moisturize that area of hair the most.    

I've updated the way that I "wrap" my hair also. Instead of wrapping the scarf around my head, I just drape it over the pillow I'm sleeping on and lay like that. I enjoy the results better then wrapping. My hair feels more moisturized and bouncy then wrapped.
